Pyramid Mountain

Pyramid Mountain, southeast side, viewed from Pyramid Island, on Pyramid Lake, near Jasper, Alberta. The ruddy coloring of the rocks is due to iron oxide (rust) content.

 

Pyramid Island with the footbridge to it is a favorite dark sky viewing site for local astronomers as the mountains shield the lake from light pollution and are at low vertical angles to allow viewing most of the sky.

 

Unfortunately for us, it was overcast like so almost the whole time we were in the area so we could not see the stars.
